The restaurant offered a special? The restaurant offered us a special treat of this sake.
It is more refreshing and tastier than the sanshu we had just had.
Four of us, three usual alumni plus one more, are in Kumamoto today. We started with Sake from Sansho.
Fruity and slightly carbonated. It has a sweet taste.
Kumamoto's specialty, horse sashimi, was served!
Then, Mr. Fujisawa, the master of the restaurant, came to greet us!
He also brought an expensive bottle of sake and a wine glass!
He poured it into a wine glass and told us to drink it because it was a good opportunity!
I was impressed by the endorsement, Kako Roku No Kozo!
The Kako we had last year at Riki and Hakodate Minshina was not Rokunosake!
Two kinds of horse sashimi were also served, and I was very impressed with the combination of the delicious sake!

Mr. riki from Kumamoto
We arrived 10 minutes late for the reservation, though we were a little late for the master.
There were many brands we were interested in that day!
Let's go for Kumamoto sake for a while 🍶!
We were able to choose from the all-you-can-drink selection of Sundo!
There wasn't much left so it didn't have that "shwashy" feeling, but the freshness and acidity was great 😃.
We shared 1 gou of sake among 4 people and drank it together!

Today is the semi-annual sake and golf party. We were joined by Shinshin SY, Mexican Tequila, and one more high school classmate. We visited Kumamoto RIKI for the first time, which was recommended by Shinshin SY. First of all, Kumamoto is a place of production. We had a bottle of Ni No Yuzuru. It is delicious with a slight bubbles and sweet and sour taste.
Ubusuna Yamadanishiki Ninonoso
Rating 4.4-4.5
Ingredients : Yamadanishiki produced in the Kikuchi River basin
Basic Agricultural Regulation : Kikuchi River Basin/Kimoto, Rice Polishing Ratio : Undisclosed, "Ninonoso" Kimoto (Twelfth Grade of Agricultural Brewing)
In "Ninonozo", lactic acid bacteria that survive in the natural world are guided. Efficient brewing would save time and effort by adding brewing lactic acid and make it safe, but the mainstay of the Sansho philosophy is "bacteria and microorganisms. The lactic acid bacteria that live in the brewery are guided and cuddled together over the course of about a month's labor, and the acid produced by the natural lactic acid bacteria inhibits other bacteria. The complexity created by Kimoto produces a depth unique to Sansho. The unique aroma of Kumamoto No. 9 yeast and the inherent sweetness of the sake are balanced by the "thickening" texture of the local brewing water, expressing the nature of Nagomi-cho as it is. The freshness created by the action of koji mold and other fungi and microorganisms leaves an impression as if the umami flavor is bouncing in the mouth.
The sweetness is balanced by the acidity, making it fresh and refreshing.

Ingredients : Komoto from the Kikuchi River basin
Basic Agricultural Regulation : Kikuchi River Basin / Kimoto / Cultivated without pesticides / Cultivated without fertilizers / Brewed in wooden vats / No yeast added / Shiori, Rice polishing ratio : undisclosed, Alcohol content :13%.
The complexity and soft flavor of Homasu, combined with the depth of the wooden vat, nama yeast, and shiori, creates a tranquil and deep flavor. HOMASU|7 Nozomi" is the last bottle of the 2024 brewing year.
It has a sweet aroma, with a light strawberry lychee flavor. The lactic acidity is well balanced.
San-do Ni-no-kozo 2025.9 Rod.
Less shrieky and woody than usual.
The taste of minerality in the mouth is memorable. It is delicious, but I might have wanted more schwash!
I had to work on the first day of the three-day weekend at the beginning of November, but I got the second and third days off, so my family and I went out here and there 🚙.
November 2nd was my eldest daughter's birthday 🎂.
She is now 5 years old and has recently grown from an infant to a big sister 🥰.
We went shopping for birthday presents and a cake, and at night we went to a sushi restaurant for dinner 🍣 as requested.
After returning home, we had a [cake draft meeting] with 10 petit cakes 🍰.
Let's have a drink and feel the growth of my daughter 🍶.
Sanchi 2024 Yamadanishiki Rokunosai Nama Sake
I had gotten this when we went to Nagoya for shopping and was waiting for the right moment to open it, but I opened it with a wish for next year's [6 years old]!
[A glass.]
The aroma is slightly bitter, and the mouthfeel has a gaseous sensation on the tip of the tongue, followed by a clean, watery, smooth flavor and a sweet taste on the tip of the tongue.
[Mokkiri]
A clear, transparent aroma, a sense of gaseous sensation at the top of the mouth, clear umami, a hint of sweetness, and a sweet aftertaste that finishes with a lingering bitterness and a sense of minerality.
I can't get enough of this shwishy feeling ✨.
I went to the fish shop looking for Kumamoto-like snacks, and I found the seasonal [seared Oita swordfish sashimi] and a little early [Chiba sea bream sashimi]. 🐟️
I'm so happy that when I enjoy a drink after putting her to bed, she sometimes wakes up to drink tea and says [I'll drink with you when I'm older] 🥰.
But I'm also worried that he'll become a heavy drinker like me 😅.
Good morning, Jive 😃.

She is absolutely adorable😍I can't wait for the day we can drink together ❣️ dreaming of that day 💖.
I sincerely hope your daughter grows up ✨

Drinking at such a time is still very special, isn't it?
Male parents are especially vulnerable to their daughters.
It's drunken🤗 to drink while enjoying the future growth of your daughter.

I am thankful for her daily growth ✨

I've been looking forward to your birthday since the summer and I couldn't wait to open the "birthplace" I bought around that time too 🥰.
Good morning, ichiro18!
Thank you for your comment 🙇.
I think now is probably the cutest time for him to hold my hand (parental stupidity 🤣).
It was a task to eat a variety of cakes ✨

Good morning, Chirsta ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.

My eldest daughter is rather challenging to eat and drink, so I'm looking forward to drinking with her in the future, but I hope it will be just for taste 🤣.
Good morning, Ao-chan ☀☀☀☀.
Thank you for your comment 🙇.
I was wondering what to pair with the snacks, but I came across a drunken fish 🥰.
[It was a little too early for the snapper, so I'm looking forward to the next season ✨.

Birthdays are a great way to celebrate 🍾🥂✨.
I can't wait for the day I can drink with your daughter now 💕☺️
Good evening, Tsubu-chan 🌛.
Thank you for your comment 🙇.
It's already too cute and melodramatic (parental stupidity 🤣).
It is indeed a sweet taste with a shwashy feeling, so I will secure it as soon as possible 🥰 because it looks like it will be intoxicating for the first sake.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛.
Thanks for your comment 🙇.
The cake still looks more intoxicating and I already got a request for a cake and gift for my next birthday 🤣.
Jive, belated Happy Birthday to your daughter 🎉🎂!
How cute that you and your dad are drinking together 💕I wish you could grow up and drink with him or stay with him like this 😊.
I also drank the Yamadanishiki Shichinounoso, but I personally liked this one better! It was very fresh and great to drink!
It has a sourness to it that may make it a bit of a picky eater, but I highly recommend this one!
